"The situation is not very optimistic. This is what I saw from the captain, Ms. Moninina." The man stood in the aisle in the middle of the carriage, holding the seats on both sides with his hands and said, "You are the last team organized by the area.
As early as a week or two ago, shortly after the start of this transportation mission, the team summoned by the liaison chief, Mr. Green Tree, one of the top leaders, began to mobilize many members of the organization along the route.
Join the escort team."
"In the following time, Captain Moninina rushed over personally and joined the escort team. We always thought that after cleaning up the tail of the escort team several times, the enemies would realize the difficulty. But it seems that
It had the opposite effect. The escort was said to be extremely important, but in fact, only the senior officials knew. It’s just that our fierce resistance gave the enemy a lot to think about. Therefore, after this time, we may encounter one after another.
We encountered several not-so-good encounters. Most of the enemies were from the Flame Alliance. After entering these small countries, they relied on their financial resources to hire many bounty hunters and mercenaries. This is the amount of information currently known. It will not be very long after passing
It's better not to follow the goods leisurely and wait to reach the destination. Be mentally prepared, but don't be too nervous. Because you are not the main force. The actual escort team is the "Gumu" team under Lord "Green Tree". You
Someone among them should know the strength of this team."
"Your main enemies are hired bounty hunters and mercenaries. You should be very familiar with them after staying in a small country all year round." The man paused here, "This train goes directly to our destination.
, first go to the temporary gathering place. There is a hidden material warehouse left by the organization, including weapons, ammunition, etc. There is enough inventory there. Try to take what you can, and the army of the Kingdom of Chir will come to assist."
"Do you still have any questions?" The man looked around and saw that no one was speaking, so he nodded, turned around, sat down, and began to rest.
In the early morning, Cassia woke up from a semi-sleep state according to her biological clock. When she opened her eyes, she only saw the unchanged wilderness outside the window, and low buildings occasionally came into view. There was no reference, and Cassia didn't know what she was doing.
Which area in the Chil Kingdom and which city in the border area will it drive to?
"We have deviated from the area mentioned in the mission." After looking at the time, Cassia confirmed it. If the destination remained unchanged, she and the people around her should have arrived at the city mentioned in the mission at this moment. "Further away,
It should be certain that the escort mission had changed in the week or two that the man said, otherwise this situation would not have occurred. The escort at this time would most likely have been cut off by the enemy from many possible routes. If it were worse,
, for the safety of the goods, the teams should be divided into several teams. It is still unclear which team the real goods are in, or there is no goods in each team, and the goods are hidden until the situation improves.
"
Sighing softly, Cassia turned his head. He has long been accustomed to this kind of subconscious analysis. Many times he has to do this. The development of forces, factories and knights is now mostly supported by him alone.
Overcoming the most dangerous vulnerable stage. Thinking more, at least there is no harm.
"I don't know what characteristics people from the Flame Alliance will have." Seeing that most of the others continued to rest with their eyes closed, Cassia gave up the idea of taking out a book to read, and then closed her eyes. Thinking of Lina and Silla.
Come on, I wonder what the two of them are like now after leaving the Brino region. There is almost no chance of meeting again, Cassia thought. The Flame Alliance is also a giant country comparable to the Empire, with a population base and area that ordinary people cannot
imagination.
With this kind of thinking, at nearly three o'clock in the afternoon, the train slowed down amidst the electronically synthesized warning sound. The sunlight outside the window was strong, and through the glass window, you could feel the heat of the concrete floor.
We stopped in a small town. It was said to be a small town, but actually I found out later that it was not really a small town.
The station is lifeless at all. The platform stretches forward more than a hundred meters along with the railway line. Most of the canopy used for shelter is rotten, leaving only a rust-covered frame. The station management room is located at the end of the platform.
, standing there alone. Through the broken window, there were cobwebs and dust inside. No one had been working inside for a long time.
On the other side of the platform is a concrete road, dilapidated, full of potholes and cracks, winding and spreading towards the small town in the distance. On one side of the road, there are two dark warehouses. The doors of the warehouses have a symbolic hand on the ground.
In the open space next to the iron lock, there were several dry men with their upper bodies exposed and sleeping on their own clothes. The simple fan in their hands flapped feebly once or twice. They were porters waiting to do their work.
.
The movement of the train did not disturb them. Cassia and the other group got off the train and glanced at those people. After seeing that there was nothing unusual, they walked along the only road to the small town ahead under the leadership of the acting captain.
We left the road halfway and went to the wilderness on the edge. When we stopped, we saw the ruins of a brick kiln in front of us. Only a tall chimney stood about ten meters away, crumbling. The warehouse was under the brick kiln, and the dust was hurriedly processed.
There are traces that someone has been here.
The underground warehouse is about a hundred square meters in size. The protective door is made of stone and is very thick. It is pushed open by manpower. There is definitely no ventilation system in the warehouse, and the moisture-proofing relies on some things placed on the bottom floor. There is a strong smell of anti-rust oil.
, somewhat spoiled and with a sour smell. The weapons and ammunition under the oil-wrapped paper still maintain the brightness of the production line.
"It's not the design model of the empire." Cassia symbolically took something in his hand, "The equipment from the Flame Alliance, and what other forces are there in the organization?" He followed the team to the predetermined resting place in the small town.
, Cassia thought about this problem.
I have always thought that the organization was just something created out of thin air by Tavel based on his own power and influence. However, with recent understanding, this idea is gradually being overturned. Tavel is not the only one. One thing Cassia can be sure of now is that
The organization he is in seems to be a real force. Although it is different from what Trevikan described, it seems that its structure cannot deviate much.
"It's more like Tavel joined the force himself, and he was just dragged in by her. Or is she cooperating with others at this time? It is impossible for Tavel to not know his identity in the empire, and what he brings with him.
It seems that the possibility of cooperating with others is higher, which can disperse the danger involving oneself." The more Cassia thought about it, the more likely it felt that the possibility was greater.
"Could it be that you have discovered that Tavel's current behavior is the same as mine, pretending to be like this to each other?"
Cassia was very vigilant. Of course, after thinking about it, there was no answer. It became a conjecture that required various conditions and information to be verified.
"We set off at two o'clock in the morning. By morning, we will probably be able to reach the escort team." The acting captain said to everyone during the break. "In the next few days, there may be no time to rest. In these short few hours
